VR-SC1: for 2005-2007 Coupe/Convertible LS2 V8
After a full year of R&D,
the all new C-6 Snake charmer ram air induction kit is finally ready
for the street. The Snake Charmer is designed after heavy development
of the original C5 B2 unit. We used information gathered from 12
special B2 Race units that we constructed for racing only which
featured many different internal aerodynamic packages and filter
combinations to maximize peak CFM and time to peak manifold pressure.
We have emphasized to customers and racing teams that it is not just
peak pressure, but the time to peak manifold pressure that we look at,
and this occurs at shift recovery, down in the meat of the power curve.
This helps for powering off of corners, general driveability and
overall peak performance. It shows up in the form of torque -- lots of
it. Like all VR units the Snake Charmer was not designed for the dyno
(pulling air), it was designed for ramming air during actual street
use. The aero package and shape of the unit are designed around this.
The philosophy is simple: design for the most efficient aero package
possible at all speeds ranging from 10 mph to 180 mph. Changes to the Front Air Scoop (now standard for all C6 kits):
Floor was raised 1/4 inch - decreased plenum volume for increased velocity into the filter
Air inlet venturi raised 1/4 inch volume for large cubic inch capacity engines
Increased flange area for improved scoop to airbox fit
The unit is packed in form fitted foam and shipped in a double wall
box to insure it arrives in the same excellent condition as it leaves
our facility.
The Filter Our filter was custom designed in-house
and manufactured by a subcontractor for Donaldson. It is pleated,
washable, and reusable, but that is where similarities to other filters
end. This filter features deeper pleats and more pleats per inch than
other filters, and the peaks and valleys have been opened to further
increase flow capacity per square inch. The result is a very compact,
high flow filter that will out flow K&N filters of similar
dimension by over 30% while actually giving better air filtration It
has more filter area that is effective area and not dead space. The
original Snake Charmer was designed by hand but has now been verified
by fluid dynamic software. The flow is so well balanced into the MAF
that at full speed (180 mph and over), the airflow is within 1 mph
across the entire circumference of the entrance leading into the air
meter. Even the factory tube can not claim such performance. NOTE::
Rain water will not affect this unit, nor will downpours; you will have
to submerse the nose of the car to experience any trouble.
Performance Guarantee Talk is great, but Show much
power will you get? Sitting on a dyno without using any special
programming you should expect 10-15hp from any cold air kit, but once
moving the Snake Charmer will put all the lost MAP pressure back into
the plenum yielding another 17hp @ 60mph and 19-20hp @ 90-100mph. In
total, you can expect 32-37 rear wheel horsepower. Translated into real
road performance:
3.5 - 4 tenths off the standing mile time
3.5 - 4 mph faster trap speeds
7-10 mph higher on top speed

| C5/Z06 F.A.S.T LSX Composite Intake Manifold |
Forget everything you know about manifolds! FAST™, a member of the COMP Group™, introduces the first "composite" multi-piece Gen III manifold that makes real horsepower and torque. FAST™ assembled a team of some of the best manifold experts in the country, including Keith Wilson of NASCAR and NHRA fame, with the goal of making the finest new manifold ever built. We developed a unique three- piece design that allows you access to every inch of the manifold. The middle and upper shells can be changed to allow for additional engine modifications, like a FAST™ 90mm throttle body. Runners can be match ported. They even included witness grooves to indicate how much material you can remove. They also engineered in unparalleled performance. Now you don’t have to sacrifice low end torque to gain horsepower.
To make the LSX™ a true bolt on product, it is made to fit under a stock hood and uses all factory hardware, fuel lines and linkages. However, the runners were redesigned to increase velocity and volume of airflow by moving air more efficiently. The LSX™’s longer, tapered runners allow it to gain top end horsepower without sacrificing low-end torque. With 25% more plenum volume, each runner is allowed to draw from less turbulent air. As the air enters the runners at the bell mouth, the angles are redesigned for better runner inlet transition. The throttle body is specially angled for improved plenum flow. For all of these reasons, you can expect up to 20 more bolt on horsepower and 15 more foot-pounds of torque.
As if increasing horsepower & torque weren’t enough, the team then designed in some special features to allow you to make further refinements to your engine. Special bosses are designed into the LSX™ to accommodate nitrous oxide nozzles and these bosses are placed at optimal angles. We’ve already mentioned you can port the LSX™, but there’s even a place for a burst panels to be installed to help prevent engine damage caused by nitrous backfires or boost pressure overload.
ADVANCED POLYMER
The team decided that even though using an advanced polymer material would be more challenging, the benefits far out weighed all other materials. They selected "Amodel™" because it is 20% stronger and 25% stiffer than the nylon used by the O.E.’s. It is also a remarkable 127% lighter than aluminum [11lbs. vs. 26 lbs.]. Even more important is the heat advantage. As an engine heats up to its operating temperature, a metal manifold absorbs that heat, which in turn causes it to preheat the air that enters the cylinders. This process, called “heat sink”, robs you of horsepower. “Amodel™” does not absorb engine heat but instead acts as a heat shield, allowing much cooler denser air into the cylinders. The result is a lighter, stronger, stiffer manifold with built in horsepower gains from the material alone. |

| C5 Stick On Billet Exhaust Plate |
This is the newest and undoubtedly the nicest GM Licensed exhaust plate on the market. This plate is a little different than the rest. We started with a piece of light weight billet aluminum and cut it to the correct shape and milled an area at a depth so that when the emblem lays flat in the triple plated chrome-aluminum plate it is slightly raised above the edge for an amazing high quality look. Not only is this the best looking plate available, it is priced right at only $179.95. Simple peel and stick adhesive. *Note this exhaust plate will work with all muffler systems except the Corsa Tiger Shark system.
